Letsitele

Letsitele means "Valley of the Dead" in the Sotho language, so named because of the rampant malaria that affected the area until it was brought under control by Dr Siegfried Annecke in 1914. Thereafter, agricultural development in the Letsitele area started in a meaningful way, with the Letaba River as the main source of water to the area. The Letsitele farming community represents the largest citrus production area in the country, and high quality Valencia oranges and the best quality Texas Star Ruby grapefruit in the world are produced here. A big fruit juice factory adds additional value to the area's produce. A variety of vegetables are also produced around Letsitele.
The well-known Hans Merensky Nature Reserve is located in the district as well as a number of game farms - all of which contain a wide variety of indigenous fauna and flora species.
